Go #12!

Konnor's throw-ins are awesome! Just like the big kids.




Konnor and Drew (what a pair?!)

Konnor's team played really well on Saturday....but not well enough to come out the victors. Konnor had some great plays. He is starting to play the "head" game too. It's fun to watch them plan out how they are going to score instead of running around haphazardly to the goal.

Great night for FOOTBALL!

K3 is the guy blocking straight up from 32 on the sidelines.

What a cool picture of K3 and his Dad/coach. I'm sure there will be more great memories of these experiences together.

Nothing beats a crystal clear cool night of football. The full moon was glowing last night as the Hornets dominated Columbia Central 61-14. The first string didn't play much last night.....because they didn't need to. We actually had a running clock for the entire 2nd half...always a good thing in football. We were home by 10:15....can't beat that!

Kraig's game

Kraig is #78 - His coaches make this team look like giants. Too bad neither one is over 5'5"???


See what I mean!

This about sums up how everyone feels after a week around our house. Stick your head under a pillow and catch some ZZZZZ's!

K3 and Kay:)

Just a quick picture this morning of two of my adorable kids. Kayla was able to come back for Homecoming this week. The first time she has been home since school started....which was way too long!

Homecoming Victory

Got the almost the whole fam in this one! (Konnor, K3, and K2)



Konnor doing his Waterboy job!

There probably isn't anything sweeter than a Homecoming VICTORY. The Hornets were able to beat the undefeated Wildcats 44-2. Yes, the coaches were not really excited that we allowed them the 2 point safety. Kirk was able to played on his injured ankle without much difficulty. I am sure that once the adrenaline gets flowing the pain lessens. His ankle is now a pretty shade of purple....but that is ok because it means the blood is finally surfacing.

This week we travel to Columbia Central not once but twice. Kraig plays there on Wednesday and Kirk on Friday night. Too bad I have to work or I could just stay at the stadium for a couple of nights.

Monday is Fair Day in Hillsdale County. Yep, you guessed it.....the kids get the day off to go to the fair and the teachers have professional development all day. Mom is coming down to take the boys to the fair after she and dad close on the NEW COTTAGE!! Yippee!!!!

Krazy Kitty

So I went outside on Friday to find Squirt laying upside down in the dog dish.....what a crazy kitty! Yesterday he was inside the gatorade case peeking out at the next unsuspecting gatorade drinker. He sure does make us laugh!

Wacky Wednesday at Western!

#78

Kraig had a game on Wednesday night against the Parma Western Panthers. It was a great game....although we did not come out the victors at the end. Kraig had some amazing tackles and played a great game.

K3 rolled his ankle at practice Thursday night. He is definitely going to have to play through the pain tonight. The Hornets face Albion who is 3-0. It is going to be a tough game.

Soccer Saturdays!

This may be Konnor's last year of soccer. I think he will probably want to start playing football really soon. He definitely is built for football and not so much for soccer.

I need a double!

There isn't enough time in the day....days in the week....or weeks in the month to get everything done. I no sooner get the laundry done and put away and there is more piles staring me in the face. I no sooner get the house clean and there is something that needs done. I no sooner get dinner made and there are dishes that need to be done. Now I'm looking at 7PM on Sunday night....there is still vaccuming, laundry, bath for Konnor, lesson plans and who knows what else will pop up. I'm wiped out!! I have been plugging along since 9AM and haven't stopped once. I need a double.

K3 had a very exciting victory on Friday night against Leslie. The Hornets won in over time 29-22. Talk about a close one. Konnor had a victory on Saturday morning too. His team squeaked another one by 4-3. Kraig has his first "real" game on Wednesday against Parma Western (there). K3 has a game at home against Albion on Friday. And Konnor has yet another 9AM soccer game. Yipee!

I'm not so sure those 9 AM game times are a good thing with the football season going the way it has been. We sure won't be getting much sleep on Friday nights. At least the mosquitos have died out in this cold weather and we can pull the jeans out of the dressers....oh yeah, MOM I have some jeans for you to hem for Konnor.

He, she, it.....

Squirt is now an "it". Not by choice but by necessity. It wasn't so much the boy parts that were causing us grief as much as the little daggers on the end of his paws. So off to the vet he went on Friday for a pedicure and snip! He has already eaten off both of the mitten bandages they put on him.....but his feet look fine.

Games, games, and more games!

Have you ever been at a football game until 12 AM? That is what happened last night....we had a 2 and 1/2 hour lightning delay. I guess neither team wanted to come back to play on Saturday so they toughed it out. What a long night! It was worth waiting for the 35-0 win though. This morning Konnor had a soccer game at 9 which made going to bed at 1:30 AM a little bit of a problem. He had a good game and we won 6-2.

Back to School....
